Veronica's actions mimicking Heather is really interesting. Because yeah it's showing that she's becoming more and more like Heather but also because Veronica moves first.

Their movements weren't fully synchronized, Veronica would fold her arms and Heather would copy her. Because yes, Veronica is becoming like Heather was, but she hasn't picked up on it, it was Martha who would've seen it, and of course Heather did too. Heather was mocking her, proving she had become just like what she once hated. Her "let me sit at your table just once, no talking necessary" had turned her into the same person but worse.

Heather never thought she was a good person. She knew who she was, she knew what she did but she was proud of it. Veronica didn't notice (and she never really did, it ended with her blaming JD for everything) and always believed she was a good person. She thought she was better than Heather and much better than JD but that way of thinking was what made her just like them. Heather mimics Veronica's movements because she can see what Veronica is like, because she could always see what she was like.

And Martha would notice too. She may not be able to see the ghosts but she was looking right where she was standing and I think that shows how she was seeing Heather in that moment, instead of Veronica (especially considering Heather stood directly inbetween them multiple times). This wasn't her best friend, this wasn't the girl who was always supportive for her. This was the girl who had helped her bully, the girl who tricked her into thinking Ram loved her.

You can see her trying to look around Heather but then Veronica starts acting just like Heather, and Heather stands directly next to her, if she was physically there Martha would be looking right at her.

And lastly, Veronica moving first shows her being worse than Heather. This isn't her copying her to fit in, this is her covering up murdering three people. And it isn't just to protect JD, she doesn't want to get in trouble either. Heather is mean, and she isn't a good person but neither is Veronica and this scene and a few others really highlight that she is not any better than the people she kills.

This is showing the effect of Veronica's actions and showing what she did to Heather as well as Heather's effect on Veronica.

I really like this theory. I really love Veronica’s character but it always bothered me how she never takes accountability for any of the killing even though it was her fault. Heather’s murder was accidental but she chose to cover it up. She also chose to put Ram and Kurt in a humiliating situation and even though JD killed them, she still was an accomplice by writing the note. She also made her friend feel so bad that she attempted suicide. It was definitely partially Veronica’s fault.
